6-27-14 8:47 AM EST: I've been wondering where Meriam Ibrahim and family have been the last couple of days, and it appears, according to the Telgraph in the U.K., that she is at the U.S Embassy in Sudan, but reportedly has to stay and answer for trying to leave the country with forged/fake documents. Check out the latest below. Her own brother wants to kill her.

6-17-14 10:02 AM EST: Many of you have heard so many Ted Cruz speeches you've heard some of the same things twice or thrice. That isn't the case here with this talk he gave at the RLC 2014 Prayer Breakfast. New stories, new anecdotes, new laughs, and much inspiring, uplifitng material from the Texas Senator.

Times is spent speaking about religious persecution both here and abroad too.

6-24-14 6:02 PM EST: Alan Robertson spoke to the Family Research Council recently. He spoke about his Dad, Phil Robertson, and Duck dynasty. Said his Dad not only looks like early artist renderings and biblical verbal depictions of John the Baptist, but behaves like him in many ways.

I’m going to lay it out there. I love Eric Clapton. I’ve seen him a handful of times. My favorite show, probably from the mid 90’s. I’ve followed his music for years, decades really. I have always wanted to fly across the Atlantic and see him at the Royal Albert Hall, but our budget has kept that in the some other time category. For the most part, I’ve been mostly satisfied to listen to his albums at home and crank up his songs when with they happen to come on the radio.

6-24-14 4:47 PM EST: At the White House press briefing today, the situation with Meriam Ibrahim and her family being arrested while trying to fly out of Sudan was brought up towards the end, right before someone apparently fainted and fell out of their chair, which brought the presser to a close. The person was OK.

6-13-14 3:30 PM EST: In the unlikely event you don't already know this, ISIS is an acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Now doesn't that have a could've-should've, predictable ring to it? How many of these "knights' as they call themselves were supported and visited by John McCain is anyone's guess.

6-24-14 9:26 AM EST: Once again other than U.S. news sources have the scoop on Meriam Ibrahim. Her entire family has been arrested. Yes the entire family. Mom, Dad, and kids, while trying to board a plane out. I believe the article cited here is from an Irish news organization (Independent.ie).

6-12-14 7:33 EST: Ted Cruz rallies for Merriam Ibrahim today in Washington DC, who was charged and convicted in Sudan for being a Christian. That was the totality of her crime, being a Christian. She can avoid 100 lashes and being hung by the neck until dead, if she will simply renounce Jesus.

6-12-14 10:44 AM EST: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. (Psalm 19:1-4 NIV)
